Gutta lapidem cavat. Translated from Latin, it means "A drop of water hollows out stone". That's what we have here. All of these info dumps, like drops of water, are hollowing out all the stone of denials of responsibility. Rich and powerful men tend to think they are untouchable, infallible and invincible. In the words of Ira Gershwin, 'tain't necessarily so.

It seems the layers of the large onion we're trying to peel back are each some pretty tangled webs of deceit. . . . .But, yes, gutta lapidem cavat ..... Follow the $$$$$ associated with each name...

Wowsa! Thanks for summarizing some of this! What a bunch of perverted clowns - all happening after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Ugh - what a disgusting lot.

And I’m absolutely certain, there are more. So what are they going to do? Release little dribs & drabs whenever it gets too hot? That’s cowardice as well, isn’t it?

You make a great point ! After the 2008 conviction, any person of integrity would have considered him a pariah. Sure, for a plumber/electrician/etc., any association was just another job, but any one that did business with him was implying, “ hey, no problem, business as usual, no morals needed with me”.

I say, expose them all -- Democrat, Republican, Independent, rich, ultra-rich, famous, unknown. Everyone but the survivors.

“And that good looking son of a bitch Steve Bannon”. I am dead! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Agree- had me in stitches!

Agreed Dean. Hilarious. It is a crying shame that you have no sense of humor. 😁

Already knew/suspected Banning was a pig....so that's not shocking.

Elon? Maybe it was then he formulated is multiple baby-mama/infant commune ideas.

Thiel? Don't know much about him (except he's creepy).

Mixed feelings about a Friday late dump. I always thought that sort of thing was done to bury news not highlight it.....but what do I know!

I want more, more, more!

Thiel is ultra creepy, and the reason we have J. D. Vance for a Vice President. When tRump wanders off stage for the final time, we'll end up with Vance in front and Thiel behind the curtain, so it's worth reading a bit about him, and his manipulation of J. D. Vance's rise.

Carie's avatar

and figuring out his relationship with the Epstein trafficking. and if JD Vance is in there.

MM Harris's avatar

Theil is gay. While we don't know that every person linked with epstein was there specifically for sexual activity, it does raise the question about whether underage boys were victims as well..

Carie's avatar

There Were also boys.

When will the survivors compile their list? Do they feel safe enough to do so? Can they do it as "Jane Doe's"?

DON'T STOP DEMANDING ANSWERS!

Where are the FBI FILES that KASH PATEL lied about? The FBI cleaned out EPSSTEIN'S ISLAND. They knew there were 1,000 VICTIMS. Have they gotten the help & support they need?

This was an INTERNATIONAL CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING OPERATION run for the benefit of WEALTHY PERVERTS & funded by them, run by JEFFREY EPSTEIN & GHISLAINE MAXWELL. There was a recent report that there were 36 WEALTHY PERVERTS - their names?

The FBI cleaned out EPSTEIN'S SAFE - where are those records?

JEFFREY EPSTEIN & GHISLAINE MAXWELL recruted CHILDREN on the pormise of MODELING careers, took them to EPSTEIN'S ISLAND, confiscated their passports & there was NO ESCAPE - surveillance & distance prevented their escape. (EMPLOYEES signed NDA which have long expired - have any been contacted?)

The single photo I found was a young child, bound & gagged, waiting to be raped by one of the perverts.

JPMORGAN CHASE knew this was happening, waited until EPSTEIN'S death to report. (Also covered-up BERNIE MADOFF's scandals.)

PUTIN has EPSTEIN'S TAPES - is it for BLACKMAIL or EXTORTION?

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING TO END TRUMP'S COVER-UP & DENIAL!

We need MORE information.

JoBo's avatar

You’re All on the List

We seriously need to change the narrative and add more pressure.

Let’s assume every one of the GOP is on the Epstein / Trumpstein list. If you told them that, they’d be jumping ship, defending themselves and not Trumpstein. So why don’t we make that assumption? Let’s make it personal!

Bannon is grotesque. The Epstein Files: disgusting.

Carol Ann Conners's avatar

Well, it ain’t gonna go away -

Ellen Franzen's avatar

Whoa! Better than I ever hoped! What is under those blacked out pieces?

Catherine Beck's avatar

The names of survivors.

elliottoberman's avatar

They must have shared in, Epstein's treasured secret, it speaks out loud, so use your imagination.

Catherine Beck's avatar

Might have. Not must have.

Jane's avatar

The plot thickens - the 'soup' is turning into thick 'mud'! They ALL have 'mud' on their shoes!!

A Friday dump generally means it's a way to slide news past the general public when most people are heading out to enjoy their weekend rather than listening to the news on the way to or from work or instead of work since it's (say it ain't so!) more interesting. Since the looming shut down can be expected to suck some of the air out of the news room too, someone probably did not want this stuff to catch the public imagination the way the Kirk shooter did and does, and the way the Comey indictment is doing. If the summons of 800 generals and admirals results in a loyalty oath demand (and I can hardly imagine it won't), that will be another big item. In fact, this is one of the few articles I've seen that goes into the contents of this latest Epstein file selection release... so good on you!

Peter Thiel! That's unpleasant.
